SUMMARY:

In this study about Recreational Mathematics, it is intended to bring to light the current concepts and justifications presented for its use, as well as to investigate how recreational mathematics is inserted in the national curricula of other countries and Brazil. From the analyzed works we adopted a conception of Recreational Mathematics, which we inferred to be the most potentially fruitful for teaching mathematics. We also analyze some experiments of application of Recreational Mathematics in the teaching of Mathematics. The methodology used for this work is the qualitative approach in its aspect of documentary research, since the focus of the work is focused on the analysis of documents as the main source of information of the research. Our vision of Recreational Mathematics led us to attach three reports of experience that seemed representative, namely: games, recreational problems and mathematical puzzles. We further discuss the idea that the development of algebra has led to the decline of recreational problems and the current perspectives of Recreational Mathematics activities. Thus, it is concluded that recreational math is a vast field of possibilities that should be more used in the classroom to facilitate the teaching-learning process, because in addition to being attractive, it develops several skills.
